What we have proposed here is that if our officers, on a voluntary basis, when they take their annual physical
fitness test wish to take the incentive program and can score at an 80" percentile or higher, they would get a
wellness day off; or the 90" percentile or higher, they would be entitled to two wellness days off. The benefit to
the days off are 1) they cannot take them on any major holidays and 2) they can be denied by administration if
they incur overtime. And as | said before, it is totally on a voluntary basis but wellness promotes good physical
health, promotes good mental health, promotes longevity and retention in this field and also cuts down on
absenteeism. I'll entertain any questions or can go into more depth if anyone would like.
President Wilshire
